Apologies for the vague subject line; I couldn't think of a better one
that
would fit. I'm referring to the forecast maps:

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html

Up until very recently, the times shown for the maps for first two days
would be at three-hour intervals: 0000, 0300, 0600 etc. A few days ago,
they changed - still at three-hour intervals, but now 0100, 0400, 0700
etc.
Why? My only thought is that it was to avoid using 0000 at all, but in
that
case why was it left for so long without changing?

Perhaps it will revert when the clocks go back at the end of the month.
That does not answer why this change should be made now though.

Were they using UTC before? ... and have now started using BST? Don't
see a time zone on the maps.
